o Dramatically improved nmap.xsl (used for converting Nmap XML output
to HTML). In particular:
- Added support for the new NSE pre-scan and post-scan output
- Changed script output to use 'pre' tags to keep even lengthy
output readable.
- Put verbose details behind expander buttons so you can see them if
you want, but they don't distract from the main output. In
particular, offline hosts and traceroute results are collapsed by
default.
- Added a floating menu to the lower-right for toggling whether
closed/filtered ports are shown or not (they are now hidden by
default if Javascript is enabled).
- Improved the color scheme to be less garish.
Many small improvements were made as well. You can find the new

The still link statically to dependency libraries such as OpenSSL,
